INFOODS Standards for food composition data interchange

International Network of Food Data Systems (INFOODS) was established in 1984 on the basis of the recommendations of an international group convened under the auspices of the United Nations University (UNU). Its goal was to stimulate and coordinate efforts to improve the quality and availability of food data worldwide and develop international standards to ensure that anyone any where would be able to obtain adequate and reliable food composition data.

This Agrisemantics Map of Data Standards is the continuation of the VEST Registry started on the FAO AIMS website
and it includes metadata from the AgroPortal ontology repository managed by University of Montpellier and Stanford University.

Work on improvements of the Map and integration with the AgroPortal is being conducted under
the umbrella of the "GODAN Action" project, a support action to the GODAN initiative.
